Need help.Big problem with battery

Hello all! I have HP Mini 110-3864sr for 3 years. I rarely used the battery but if I do it , my notebook was working for 3-6 hours. 15 of August I left for business trip and my HP stayed at home. When I came back on 22 of August, I switched it on, but I found that the battery doesn`t work at all. I have Windows 7 and I see that the battery status is 0% and no charging. I have done everything that I have found in the internet. I installed HP support assistant and did diagnostic from BIOS etc. Nothing helped, but HP support assistant says that the battery is OK. During the test it starts charging for 15 sec and that is all. I suspect that when I left the battery was about 10% and during the week It lost the power.
I know that it must work because as I have said before it cat run notebook for 3 hours +++. Please help what I have to do???

"I know that it must work because as I have said before it cat run notebook for 3 hours +++. Please help what I have to do???"
If you remove the battery and plug in the power adapter are you able to boot into Windows?
If that is posssible, then your battery has most likely failed and requires replacement regardless of what the diagnostic test has told you.
Notebook or netbook batteries are only guaranteed from new for one year. If you get three+ years of service life out of a notebook's battery, you can consider yourself quite fortunate.

Please Help : Big problem with applets

Hi,
I have a big problem which I have not been able to figure out. The applet I have enclosed works fine on some computers but not on others .
I am running :
java version "1.3.1_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_02-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_02-b02, mixed mode)
The applet runs perfectly Ok at university but not on other computers.
The objective of the applet is to display 3 shapes on the screen once. On the university computer it works, however at home and work the 3 shapes are continuously displayed on the screen ( like they are in some infinite loop). I have been struggling with this for days any help would be greatly appreciated.
It would help me if some of you could run this applet and let me know if the shapes are displayed once or if the shapes are continuously updated on the screen ( assuming that the applet window is not resized covered over etc. )

O.K. You will not believe this, but the problem will be solved if you change the following line from:
    setFont(new Font("Serif",Font.BOLD,24));to:
    g.setFont(new Font("Serif",Font.BOLD,24));Now, since I am also learning JAVA, the way I went about solving was to create your applet from scratch, using cut and paste, and running it piece by piece till I ran into the flashing display. Took me a while. I am enclosing my version of the program for your comments.

I have big problem with battery, It's not working good just two hours and stop without any warning when the battery in 50% then reach 30% in the same moment, then the iphone stopped,what I can do for that and I live in Egypt???any help

My Iphone 4 is very good until last Thursday, I used it from sep 2011 without any problems, My problem is the battery is down without any warning and working after 100% then 82% then 50% then 30% and down these things throw less than two hours
what can I do with that??
Also, I live in Cairo,Egypt
waiting your recommendations

Hi,
"But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about."
If you want it to be colored, you'll need to create a color-palette for the 8bppIndexed bitmaps. The keyword for this process is "Color-Quantization".
The whole yellow-green pie you get is from the wrong format. If you convert the 32bpp bitmaps to 24 bpp bitmaps, you loose the alpha channel ("transparency"). You can manually set one color to "transparent" with the mMakeTransparent-method
of the Bitmap class, or simply use gif-images (they are 8bpp with a transparent "key"-color)

Need help big time with pop-up window!

This is probably an easy answer, I'm not a programmer or a back end guy whatsoever, I'm a graphic designer trying to make his way through a project for a client.
I'm working up a Flash template, and I need to make a simple pop up window that will view a more detailed version of an image. The template has a pop up window system where you add your photo to a certain frame of a movie clip. The problem is, the pop ups have scroll bars built in, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get rid of them, so I duplicated one of the movie clips that looked like it housed the framework of the pop up and deleted the scroll bar (I didn't delete any of the scroll bar code because I had no idea what I was doing). It actually kind of worked, but the pop up window is a bit too wide and doesn't look right.
You can view my hack job here...
http://truetilldeathhq.com/main8_v7/main8_v7.html
Stay on the "Print" page and click the first "01" button and an ad for Ford will come up. Click the "Detailed View" button in the description to see the pop up window.
My question is, there MUST be an easier way to make a pop up window than the workaround I'm using with the template. What I'm trying to do is have a pop up for each sample of the work (all images would be the same size) for the first four buttons, and then for the "Online Banners" page, have the pop up open up to the dimensions of the particular banner ad and play the swf. The pop ups shouldn't have scroll bars, only a title and the button to close the window.
To view the template files, you can download them at:
http://truetilldeathhq.com/main8_v7/main8_v7.fla
The "descripton" movie clips have the descriptions and the "Detailed View" links in the frames, and the movie clips I not so gracefully butchered to get the pop up to work were TM_page_content_scroll (where you're supposed to put an image in a certain frame and then put the # of that frame in the Actionscript of the "Detailed View" button), and the TM_main_cont_page2 and TM_pop_up_main3, which were the ones I duplicated.
If ANYONE can offer even the slightest bit of help, I gratefully appreciate it. I've been working on this thing for like 15 hours a day and I can't even think straight at this point, thanks!

I admit to not having read everything you wrote... there's just too much of it. But...
Hashtable (and HashMap, which you should really be using unless you have some external constraint requiring the use of Hashtable) map each key to a single value object.
That is, you can map from the key string "4996" to one single other object. And then you can also map from a different key to a different object.
In you put() method, you add a mapping from "4996" to "good", and then you replace that mapping with one from "4996" to "home". There is only ever one value associated with a given key.
To map multiple values to a single key, you need the value object to be a collection of some kind (or an array). So, you could map your string "4996" to a List, and that list could contain the strings "good", "home", etc.

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP: Big problems with my Zen Touch. (Firmware/driver issu

So here's the deal:
Last night I thought I'd finally take the time to upgrade my Zen Touch to 2. from .3 or something like that. I noticed that there was a warning saying that this was no small upgrade, and that I should back up everything I have on it.
I'm glad I did, because now my MP3 player situation is seriously screwed up, big time. During the upgrade process, my computer froze, leaving my Zen Touch without firmware (ok, so firmware version 0.0.0). Upon turning the device on, it boots up in recovery mode. This allows me to either format, clean up, or "reupload" firmware. I've tried all of these options, but the fact is clear that my computer simply will no longer recognize my MP3 player.
It does, however, recognize it at as a generic storage device. However, this isn't enough for me to reinstall the player's firmware unfortunately.
So basically, I can't update driver or firmware right now, because my computer won't acknowlege my Zen Touch!
Somebody please, please help.
I've already tried using the setup file from http://www.jumpingcholla.com/jce_nomad_ZEN.htm.
Seriously, please help!

Sort of success!
I now finally have firmware 2. installed on my Zen Touch! Yeah! I'm not entirely sure how I did it, and I'm not bothering to find out, I'm just glad I finally got it on there.
But some problems still remain. After all this fiddling with my driver and firmware and whatnot, my computer just doesn't see my MP3 the same way as it used to. Before, it was great, all I had to do was plug her in and I could bring up Zen Explorer in Windows Explorer, or organize my stuff in Creative MediaSource.
Now that's not the case. The only way I can sort of add stuff to my player now is by going into Windows Explorer, which is still more or less acknowleging my player as a "portable device". Granted, there is a dri've called "My Zen", but it doesn't bring up Zen Explorer like it used to when I click on it. Furthermore, when I go into MediaSource, I can't select it as a location, there just isn't anything there.
It almost seems as if my computer thinks I'm just using a portable hard dri've. Is there anyway I can tell it that it's an MP3 player, too?
Thanks!

Urgent I need help about Problem with macbook pro

The first sorry for my english,
I have a macbook pro buy it me almost one year ago, and these days me the mouse remains I want and cannot do anything have to wait a few seconds and it returns to work, and also when it puts in rest it touched all the keys and the trackpad but it does not answer, I have to close the screen and wait awhile to raise it and return to react, if someone can help me it be be to him very grateful, in addition the guarantee of hardware is ended in 8 days. thank you very much

Hi leptones, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'm not sure if your warranty expires in 8 more days or it already expired 8 days ago? If you're still under warranty, I would definitely call AppleCare or go to an Apple Store or AASP; they can troubleshoot it and determine if it's something that needs fixing while you're still under warranty (if you are).

Need Help Troubleshooting Problem with Shared Internet Connection

The setup:
DSL Modem/Router
Mac Running 10.4.4 connected to router directly, via ethernet cable
Mac Running 10.2.8 connected to router wirelessly, via ethernet bridge
The Mac connected by wire has no problems.
The Mac connected by radio works perfectly with web browsers and with Apple software update, but it can't connect to the AIM server and it can't connect to the GMail POP server. It can connect to those servers via dial-up however.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Could you list the make and model numbers of your dsl modem and your wireless bridge please?

NEED HELP. Problem with Video iChat

Hi there. I'm kind of new to the Mac world. I have a MacBook with Leopard. I seem to having a problem getting a video chat session up and running. I can iChat no problem but if I send a video chat invite the person gets it and accepts it but I receive an error message stating that i did not receive a response. The person that I'm sending the invite to is also on a MacBook using Tiger. I have a .Mac account and she does not. She is using her AIM account. I believe that she also received an error message about an invalid IP. Any suggestions?

Same problem.
But I can video chat with other people, this issue only affects 1 person, and they too can chat with other people, but when we try it fails with her seeing the IP error, I get a the other person didn't respond msg. Which just adds to the confusion. I used to be able to conference with her so this is a new error. Both video and voice only chats are affected, text chats still work.
I'm on 10.5.1 on a G5 Mac Pro and she is on 10.4.x on an Intel MacBook Pro
I can't be sure but it may have started after I upgraded to 10.5, but I also recently updated my Netgear (DG834G) firmware to V3.01.31. I've tried opening up various ports, checked everything that has been mentioned on here to date. The error is 100% reproducible with this specific person, and I can still conference with other people but I think they are all on 10.5.x

Need help troubleshooting problem with shadow images

Has anyone encountered this problem and found a way to
resolve it - I'm working in Captivate 2.
I've created a training project that includes screens
(slides) where popup windows appear. These popups mysteriously
appear as faint images in a subsequent slide. The only connection
I've been able to uncover so far is that recording the mouse click
in the subsequent slide causes the popups from the previous slide
to appear.

New air problem with battery after upgrade to 10.6.5

Hi List.
I bought new air about month ago. Everything was working like a charm.
2 days ago I did macos upgrade and I have big problem with battery performance. Only 2 hours of working after full charging. I decided to downgrade system to 10.6.4 and problem's gone.
Is there something wrong with 10.6.5 on new air?

Hi,
I dont think there is something wrong with 10.6.5 simply because I have no problem with it
Since battery management is one of the SMCs, resetting it may solve the issue.

Having big problems with Creative Zen Micro Photo!! I need much urgent help!

Hi. I am having a big problem with my MP3 Creative Zen Micro Photo device at the computer.Here is the thing:Before I bought this I had the regular Zen Micro & having fun with it. I had no problems with that when I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs. So I bought the Zen Micro Photo & installed it my computer. As normal I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs & pictures.So I reinstalled Windows XP at my computer, and when I installed the CD that followed to transfer new songs, the Windows said that it's an unknown thing I have connected in the USB.So I installed Service Pack & 2. I have tried to install drivers from the cd but it seems that there are no drivers on the cd! The big problem is that when I connect the MP3 to the computer, it doesn't read it's a Zen Micro, it's just unknown! So the Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer program doesn't work & I can't transfer songs or picture on it! And it just happened after I re-installed Windows on my computer. The same thing happened on my brother's computer after he re-installed windows. And when I connect the MP3 to the USB, it says that it's not a USB 2.0, but .! And I am sure it is 2.0 because it has always been like that before I re-installed windows. Also the MP3 does not re-charge when I put it my computer! The battery is just the same, it tries to do it but it doesn't. So I am using my sisters computer to charge the MP3 & transfer songs. I have tried everything but I can't seem to understand what the problem is? I have never experienced something like this before, and I really hope you can help me with this! To be honest I think what I am missing is the driver. So can someone PLEASE provide me the link for the driver? I have downloaded all those 3 on www.creative.com, but they are none of them! Also that playforsure firmawre thingy does not work because it sais that I have to connect my MP3, and it is connected already!Please reply as quick as possible! Thanks a lot for you kind help!
I have also sent this mail to creative support! But please help me I have had this problem for almost 2 months now! =(Message Edited by anakwalajinn on 05-0-2006 08:47 PM
